The 2013-14 Brooklyn Nets season was marked by high expectations following a blockbuster trade that brought Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Jason Terry from the Boston Celtics.

Despite a sluggish 10-21 start, they turned it around, finishing the regular season 44-38, securing the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference.
In the playoffs, Brooklyn faced the Toronto Raptors in a thrilling first-round series, ultimately winning in seven games.

Despite not reaching the NBA Finals, the season was a significant chapter in the Nets’ history as they continued to build a competitive squad.
